4 Ways to Keep Your Brand in the Conversation

Posted by timtim | Filed under Uncategorized

The impact of social media in the consumer space means companies needs to listen and communicate with their customers. Providing instant customer support, being able to respond to questions or concerns and putting a face to your company is extremely important.

How are you going to manage all your customer expectations?

Listen to them!
You need to be aware of everything potential customers are saying, from brands to competition to product names. This includes blogs, social networks, forums, web pages and every other nook and cranny of the Internet. Below are 4 ways to begin monitoring your brand and seeing what your fans are saying.

Google Alerts. With search, Feedburner, YouTube and a ton of other tools, Google loves to share its data and can help you monitor the Internet. With Google Alerts you get pinged when Google’s spiders find something on the web that mentions a specific search phrase that you want to monitor. Start monitoring keywords and phrases and get involved with what is going on online.

Twitter Search
. Seeing the things people Tweet about, if someone has your product and uses it, they are Tweeting about it. Use Twitter’s real time search capabilities to see what your fans are saying about you. Your Internet music marketing can tell you if fans like your new album or if they are coming to your show tonight. Start taking note of how people interact, what the conversations are about and if the conversations are passed around.

Facebook Search. Check the back catalog of your News Feed for the past 30 days and look to what your friends are saying about certain words and phrases. If others outside of your network have chosen to make their content available to everyone, you also will be able to search for their status updates, links and notes, regardless of whether or not you are friends. Search results will continue to include people’s profiles as well as relevant Facebook Pages, groups and applications.

YouTube. YouTube has a great new search function that lets you not only search for videos based on titles, descriptions and tags, but also the comments. Look for long tail terms and monitor them here. YouTube’s search bar is the second most popular on the internet behind Google. If you were searching for Lifestyle Design or Gen-Y Entrepreneurship you can easily find videos and find the people talking about these videos.

Start using all 4 of these sites today to keep tabs on your brand. With blogging every person with an Internet connection is now a publisher and you need to monitor what they are writing. I bet your customers will thank you for taking the time to talk to and listent to them.

Backlinks and visitor traffic

Posted by timtim | Filed under Uncategorized

back links

Backlinks sometimes described as ‘page links’ are essential to the visibility of your web pages in the search engines and attracting visitor traffic. When thinking about backlinks there are three elements you need to consider, the source from which the backlinks are derived, the anchor text of the backlinks and what’s on the page to which the backlinks directs the visitor to.

The quantity of backlinks

The amount of backlinks to a page is one of the elements the search engines consider when deciding how to position the page in the SERPS (Search Engine Page Results).

The source of the backlinks

The pages from which backlinks originate pass ‘authority’ and traffic to the page to which the backlinks point. But ‘votes’ passed via backlinks from trusted or authoritative pages to a page have greater influence over the search engines consideration of this page than backlinks originating from pages with less ‘trust’ or authority. Obvious examples of trusted sources of backlinks carrying higher authority are pages belonging to education (.edu) and government (.gov) web sites..

Google Page Rank

Backlinks from web pages with high page rank (a value given by Google to each page that it has observed over a period to have attracted, sustained and continued to accumulate relevant backlinks) pass some of their page rank via the backlink to the target page.

The ‘anchor text’

When you see a backlink on a web page it often has a label a word or text associated with the subject at the page to which this backlink is pointing, what this ‘anchor text’ says has influence upon the value the search engines award to the link. If the content of the page is about ‘parenting’ and the backlink on the page is labeled or given the ‘anchor’ text ‘parenting’ then the search engines consider this to be of more value to the searcher looking for results related to ‘parenting’ than if the backlink was labeled ‘babycare’.

Common issues

It’s not unheard of for newbies to confuse the quantity with the quality of backlinks and easily be frustrated by their lack of progress For example if all of your backlinks to your ‘parenting’ page originate from sites not related to ‘parenting’ then whilst you have backlinks they will almost certainly bring you the wrong traffic.

How to manufacture backlinks

So here is my no obligation guidance for getting backlinks to your pages, good visibility in the search engine results pages and the right type of traffic to your site.

  1. It is essential you select the right keywords before you expend any effort whatsoever.
  2. I always set out to put together a keyword cloud.
  3. I always start with a single ‘top’ level keyword or key phrase which has substantial visitor traffic.
  4. To discover the amount of visitor traffic is being coming from searches for my primary keyword I use the Google keyword analyzer tool.
  5. The Google tool generates a list of keywords associated with my main keyword and from this list I flesh out my cloud.
  6. Using this cloud I generate a selection of content containing articles, videos and blog posts each with backlinks labeled with the related anchor text and then utilize a portfolio of content distribution tools to disperse my materials to a group of directories.
  7. When I write my content I do so with the searcher in mind so as each item of content attracts backlinks to itself as well as sends backlinks to my target pages.

The Most Important Part of Internet Marketing

Posted by timtim | Filed under Uncategorized

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?

For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.

At its core, internet marketing is about these things:

* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.

My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.

My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers - as we do - and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.

However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.

Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.

Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.
